The Igbo people traditionally shun crimes mainly through traditional measures in divergent areas of human endeavours. In the traditional health sector, herbs, ointments and other substances are used by the wicked/criminals to destroy or retard human lives. But these few criminal minded ones are always discriminated among the good members of various Igbo groups and communities. The problem which this article is set to address is that modern people within the Igbo extracts do not acknowledge positive and healthy efficacy of traditional magic and medicine to an expected degree, rather, most of them condemn Igbo traditional magic and medicine completely. It has been discovered in this paper, that even though, there are few evil and criminal minded magical and medical manipulators or sorcerers the righteous, good, and positive minded traditional magical and medical practitioners are still predominant. These good ones combine magical and natural medical sources to heal or treat both medical and spiritual issues challenging the sick, victims, patients and the society. The good ones handle issues like low and high blood pressure, malaria, gynaecological, paediatric health problems, etc and other issues connected with spiritual forces. This research work therefore, aims at tackling this problem of low patronage to crime free Igbo traditional magic and medicine and their associated misconceptions and condemnations. The paper also intends to elaborate the positive impact and efficacy of Igbo traditional magic and medicine in the health care delivery system among the crime free minded Igbo people. This research paper adopts historical and phenomenological research approaches. One of the recommendations is that standard traditional medical and pharmaceutical schools, institutions or colleges should be established at least in the South Eastern Nigeria from there,expansion can continue. Data were generated from both primary and secondary sources. Data gathered were analyzed with descriptive style of data analysis.
